  1. Fast dispatch

    As Christmas creeps ever closer, things are really starting to step up at Pretty and Personalised and I am working all day and every evening  to ensure your orders are dispatched quickly!

    Current dispatch times for most products are approximately 3-4 working days, and can often be posted quicker than this if required!  You can leave me a note in the box at checkout to request your item for a specific date and I will do my best to help.

    Free postage

    All orders include free UK postage.  Items are posted via Royal Mail, 2nd class post so you can expect to receive your order in 2-3 working days from dispatch.  You can upgrade to 1st class post at checkout for £1 to receive your item 1-2 working days from dispatch.

    Recent orders

    See below for some of your lovely recent orders!  All items start off completely blank and so can have ANY wording you like on them - if you have seen something you like but need to change a couple of words, or would like to design your own gift entirely, just write the wording you require in the text boxes provided!

  2. Just whizzing by to show you my latest attempt at making a YouTube video to showcase some of my Christmas products!  I quite enjoyed the process of making the video and plan to do more in the coming months ... and let's face it, they can only get better can't they?!

    I have been working on some updates on my website to try to keep it as user-friendly, and particularly, as mobile-friendly as possible!  Whatever did we do in the days before mobile phones?!

    Gotta go, my lovely bed is calling me!

  3. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Have you even thought about it yet?

    I must say, this year I have been very lax ... I am normally well on my wasy to finishing by now!

    I am REALLY looking forward to Christmas this year!  Last Christmas, I was lucky enough to go to Perth, Australia for a month with my lovely husband and three boys to stay with my hubby's family - we flew out on 10th December (correction, our flight was cancelled last minute due to the heavy snow, so we actually flew out on 11th December but that is another l-o-n-g story!) and so I never even put up my Christmas tree last year!

    Have you ever experienced Christmas in a hot climate?  It was very, very strange - seeing Christmas decorations up everywhere in the blazing hot sunshine was surreal!  We had the most amazing time out there but I am really looking forward to putting up my Christmas tree this year (a task I normally stress over as I am so busy with orders I cannot seem to comfortably fit the timeframe needed to get my (several) Christmas trees up!).

    So, as unorganised as I am being in my personalised life, I have been a little better at Pretty and Personalised and my Christmas products have had a much needed re-vamp and several new ones have been added to the website!

    'Baby's first Christmas' and 'Our first Christmas as Mr & Mrs' are always popular and these have been given an update, and there has been a lovey addition for 'Our first Christmas as a family' plaque.

    Which one is your favourite?  If you click on the photo, it will take you straight to the Christmas category so you can browse the products available.

    This lovely glass heart can be personalised with your own message and is perfect to celebrate your first Christmas as a married couple.

    Personalised glass heart 'Our first Christmas as Mr & Mrs'.

    This acrylic star Christmas tree decoration has the personalisation handwritten in fine white ink and comes with either a blue or pink sparkly ribbon.  It would make a gorgeous addition to your Christmas tree and is a perfect way to celebrate baby's first Christmas!
